Oasis--Be Here Now

D'You Know What I Mean.?

Step off the train all alone at dawn, 
Back into the hole where I was born, 
Sun in the sky never raised an eye to me. 

Put on the trax and they must be mine, 
Fool on the hill and I feel fine, 
Don't look back cos you know whet you might see. 

Look into the wall of my minds eye, 
I think I know that I don't know why, 
Questions aren't the answers you might need. 

Coming in a mess going out in style, 
I ain't good looking but I'm someones child, 
No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe. 

I met my maker and I made him cry, 
And on my shoulder he asked me why, 
His people won't fly through the storm, 
I said "Hey listen up man now they don't even know your
born". 

All my people right here right now, 
D'You Know What I Mean.? 
Yeah, Yeah, 

All my people right here right now, 
D'You Know What I Mean.? 
Yeah, Yeah, 

All my people right here right now, 
D'You Know What I Mean.? 
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, yeah. 

I don't really care for what you believe, 
So open up your fist or you won't recieve, 
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll meet. 

So get up off the floor I believe in life, 
No-ones ever gonna ever ask you twice, 
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me. 

I met my maker and made him cry, 
And on my shoulder he asked me why, 
His people won't fly through the storm, 
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know your born".

My Big Mouth.

Everybody knows, 
But no-one's saying nothing, 
And was the sound so very loud, 
That no one can hear.? 

I got something in my shoes, 
It's keeping me from walking, 
Down a long and winding road, 
And back home to you. 

I've seen this town it seems to be, 
That's what you got for sleeping with the enemy, 
Where angels fly, you won't play, 
So guess who's gonna take the blame for 

My Big Mouth, 
And my big name, 
I'll put on my shoes as I'm walking slowly down the hall of
fame. 

Into my big mouth, 
You can fly a plane, 
I'll put on my shoes as I'm walking slowly down the hall of
fame. 
Slowly down the hall of fame. 

I ain't ever spoke to God, 
And I ain't ever been to heaven, 
But you assume I knew the way, 
Even though the map was given, 
And as you look into the eyes, 
Of a bloody cold assassin, 
It's only then you realize, 
Winnings what you have been missing. 

And all your sounds cease to be, 
That's what you got for sleeping with the NME, 
Where angels fly, you won't play, 
So guess who's gonna take the blame for 

My Big Mouth, 
And my big name, 
I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking slowly down the hall of
fame. 
Into my big mouth, 
Yeah, you can fly a plane, 
I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking slowly down the hall of
fame. 
Slowly down the hall of fame. 
Slowly down the hall of fame. 
And all this town will cease to be, 
That's what you got for sleeping with the enemy, 
Where angels fly, you won't play, 
I guess you're gonna take the blame for My Big Mouth, 
And my big name, 
I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking slowly down the hall of
fame. 
Into my big mouth, 
Yeah, you can fly a plane, 
I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking slowly down the hall of
fame. 
Slowly down the hall of fame. 
Slowly down the hall of fame. 
Slowly down the hall of fame. 
Slowly down the hall of fame.

Magic Pie.

An extraordinary guy can never have an ordinary day, 
He might live a long goodbye, 
but that is not for me to say, 

I dig his friends, 
I dig his shoes, 
But he is just a child with nothing to lose, 
but his mind, his mind. 

They are sleeping while they dream, 
but then they want to be adored, 

They who don't say what they mean, 
Will live and die by their own sword. 

I dig their friends, 
I dig their shoes, 
But they are like a child with nothing to lose, 
But their minds, yeah their minds. 

I'll have my way, 
In my own time, 
I'll have my say, 

My star will shine. 
Cos you see me, 
I've got my Magic Pie. 

Think of me, 
yeah that was me 
I was that passer by, 

I've been and now I've gone. 
There are but a thousand days but heading for a thousand
years, 

Many minds to educate, and people who have disappeared,

To dig my friends, 
to dig my shoes, 
I am like a child with nothing to lose, 

But my mind, yeah my mind, 
We'll have our way, 
In our own time, 
In our own time, 
We'll have our say, 

Cos my star's gonna shine. 
Cos you see me, 
I've got my Magic Pie.

Cos you see me,

Stand By Me.

Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday,

Said I would and I believe in one day, 
Before my heart starts to burn. 

So whats the matter with you, 
Sing me something new, 
Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know, 
They only seem to come and go, away. 

Times are hard when things have got no meaning, 
I've found a key upon the floor, 
Maybe you and I will not believe in, 
The thing we find behind the door. 

So whats the matter with you,

They're trying hard to put me in my place, 
And that is why I've gotta keep running, 
The future is mine and its no disgrace 
Cos in the end the past means nothing. 

You tell me I'm free then you tie me down, 
And from my chains I think its a pity, 
What did it cost you to wear my crown, 
You dont like me why don't you admit it.

And I ain't got much to say, 
But your gonna miss me when I'm not there

Life is hit and miss,

And if I stumble catch me when I fall, 
Cos baby after all, 
You'll never forget my name, 
You'll never forget my name. 

Your trying hard to put me in my place, 
And that is why I've gotta keep running, 
The future is mine and its your disgrace,

Whos gonna miss you when your not there,

I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground, 

So dont go away, 
Say what you say, 
Say that you'll stay, 
Forever and a day, 
In the time of my life, 
Cos I need more time,

It's Getting Better ( Man.! )

Say Something, 
Shout it from the roof tops off your head, 
Maybe sort of mean something, 
Make me understand or I'll forget, 

You could hear the wise speeches, 
Wish upon a wave that had a sound, 
Recommend what life teaches, 
You to build a castle in your head, 

Maybe the songs that we sing are wrong, 
Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone, 
Bring it on home and it wont be long, 
It's Getting Better Man.! 

Hey what was that you said to me, 
Just say the word and I'll be free, 
And when the stars are shining bright, 
We're Getting Better Man.! 

And crashing in upon a wave, 
It's calling out beyond the grave, 
Well I'm a fire in the sky, 
We're Getting Better Man.! 

Build something, 
Build a better place and call it home, 
Even if it means nothing, 
You'll never ever feel that your alone, 

Cos maybe the songs that we sing are wrong, 
Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone, 
Bring it on home and it wont be long, 
It's Getting Better Man.! 

Hey what was that you said to me, 
Just say the word and I'll be free, 
Yeah as the fire in the sky, 
It's Getting Better Man.! 

And crashing in upon a wave, 
It's calling out beyond the grave, 
And when the stars are shining bright, 
It's Getting Better Man.! 
It's Getting Better Man.! 

And what was that you said to me, 
You told me one day I'd be free, 
And when the fires burning bright, 
I'm Getting Better Man.! 

And crashing in upon a wave, 
It's calling out beyond the grave, 
And when the stars are in the sky, 

We're Getting Better Man, 
We're Getting Better Man, 
We're Getting Better Man, 
We're Getting Better Man.
